Candace Owens shared Wednesday on Twitter that she was refused a COVID test through email from a testing facility.
Owens also tweeted, “The public Heath crisis is SO REAL, that they are now banning individuals from COMPLYING with rules to ensure they don’t spread COVID”.
She shared the email from Suzanna Lee, owner of a private lab in Aspen, Colorado. Lee told Owens she would deny the service and refuse Owens’ booking for a test.
Lee wrote, “We cannot support anyone who has pro-actively worked to make this pandemic worse by spreading misinformation, politicizing and DISCOURAGING the wearing of masks and actively dissuading people from receiving life-saving vaccinations”.
Lee also informed Owens that she could use a free kiosk by city hall but warned that the kiosk has inconsistent result times and is in a back alley.
My team and myself have worked overtime, to exhaustion, unpaid and underpaid this past year, spending our own capital to ensure that our community remains protected,” she wrote. “It would be unfair to them and to the sacrifices we have all made this year to serve you.

Owens responded, “Nothing screams ‘this virus isn’t political’ quite like googling the names of the people who book tests with you and determining on a case by case basis whether or not you will let them comply with your community covid measures”.
Last week Owens left a Texas gig over reports of a “sudden illness” but denied having COVID on her way to Aspen for a family trip.
